I have an old Bellsouth mail via att via yahoo. Every so often the thing dies. This time around I finally got my Thunderbird back up and running using Oauth. But PopPeeper is still pooped. Stopped working for Yahoo a week or so ago.

I have attempted to follow directions before but call me dumb... WHERE IS OAUTH on PopPeeper? I have yet to see that option. Can't find it. How do I get that to come up? And yep, I tried the IMAP option. I'm using V 5.03. It's making me daffy. Ha. I know...I'm losing it. I can't find Oauth.

Hi MrPopup and welcome to the Esumsoft Forums,

The [Oauth2] button can be seen under the [GENERAL] tab when you edit an IMAP account in POP Peeper. It should appear on the right side of the window beside the line which says, "Login Name".

* Right-click on the account in question in the Account List, select Edit account, The [GENERAL] tab/window will then be displayed.

Since you are not seeing the Oauth2 button, please provide a screenshot of the GENERAL window in your next reply - being sure to first obscure any personally-identifiable information, before including the image in your post.
Instructions for how to do this can be found at the link below:

Make sure that your incoming server is imap.mail.yahoo.com -- this is required for Oauth2 (Yahoo), and I believe that this server will work for at&t mail. Then change the server type to IMAP (even if it's already set to IMAP, it's important to update the server type after changing the incoming server) and you'll see the Oauth2 button next to your login name.

Be sure to update your SMTP address, too (smtp.mail.yahoo.com)

Hiya Jeff!

Hey, your solve worked PERFECTLY! Wow! How did you know to do that? Regardless, thanks 50 times. I have been pecking at this off and on for months with another account. When my main one went belly up and no solution, I came here. You did GOOD!
Your fan,
Norm
